CoViD-19 Saturday: Stay At Home Order Extended | As UI Benefits Expire, Covidiot-In-Chief Golfs |

Mom & Dad and the grandkids (Taken 12.25.2020)

I don't have much to say today and not a lot of news. UI benefits ended today while the occupier went golfing. We watched Warriors on Netflix and it's super good and super intense but I'm kinda surprised there's no trigger warning at the beginning. Darren had to run out for dog food today, but otherwise it was a loungey all-day pajama day. 

Today's data and numbers are abnormal due to the Christmas holiday and fewer testing sites. I would presume that there were certainly some Christmas deaths, there's just non reporting due to the holiday. The stay-at-home order would have expired in a few days if our numbers were improved, but instead, the new order says we'll be under the stay-at-home order until all regions in the state are out of it, so we're gonna be here awhile.
